But first a stop of at The Esplanade, Warners Bay for hot potato chips.

We also saw a white heron, pigeons, and noisy miners but those piccies didn’t come out very good.

Snippets from the garden

This is the tree at the edge of the front yard that threatens our tiled roof in stormy weather, and that the council won’t let us get removed because it’s the type of tree (old and weathered) that the parrots can breed in, ok, fine, I just hope the Indian Mynah birds don’t kick them out every year, as it is way too disheartening to see those pretty pale blue Eastern Rosella eggs on the ground.

On a plus side, it does provide welcome shade from the afternoon sun in Summer.
